Twelve arrests at al-Quds Day rally and counterprotest in London

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather on one side of Thames as those backing US-Israel war on Iran meet on the other Twelve people were arrested as hundreds joined a pro-Palestinian al-Quds Day demonstration on one side of the Thames, while hundreds more gathered on the opposite bank to back Israeli and American attacks on Iran. At least 1,000 police officers were drafted in to keep the two rival protests apart. Lambeth Bridge, the nearest river crossing to each rally, remained closed on Sunday afternoon.
